Senators in a Playoff Spot; Are They for Real?, Potential Trades & More | THW Senators Roundtable

[@jamiesomerville8196]

Shouldn't really be calling it one big road trip. It's really two road trips separated by the holidays at home. That's a meaningful difference. Kleven and JBD are doing great as a 3rd pairing! Would be nice to get Zub back soon!

[@bernardsparr9501]

Sens still need a top 6 winger for Stutzle and another efficient RD to play with Sanderson...Who could we trade for?

[@garnetwilliamson7817]

A big part of it is now Ullmarks family is settled into the new city. He is used to the system and the defensive tendencies in front of him. Ottawa is now moving forward

[@chrisfortin984]

I think Ottawa needs to make a trade with the Rangers for Braeden Schneider to be that pairing with Sanderson. As long as it doesn't touch a big piece of the core, they should make that move, except Zub and Grieg. They should be available for a guy like Schneider. The big core pieces along with Yakemchuk should not be in the trade, but the rest should be.

[@theloudcollector]

Great discussion boys, new subscriber for sure! Norris is second in hits? DID NOT expect that ... I just don't feel he has the playoff chops, gut feeling, based on visuals lol

[@jamiesomerville8196]

I think he could be sneaky-good in the playoffs.

[@MatthewRutledgeTaylor]

I'm surprised that you guys are so negative on David Perron. Let's see him play for a few weeks straight and see how he does.

[@ponyboycurtis007]

I was pretty stoked to see the Perron addition. Eager to see him get back in action. That being said our bottom 6 have really pulled it together the last bit and a big reason for us winning.

[@king_jamz916]

Nobody is speaking on this long road trip....the fact they are keeping a win streak alive should show a lot... I'm new to following hockey and just started following the Sens but maybe they should make a trade to shore up a playoff run

[@wayneblais8368]

Holding my breath.

[@carloshonestopinions]

For the Sens it all starts in net, and Ullmark has been the best goalie since Anderson. The D has gone from oxymoronic "offensive defencemen" to true defense - All good! And all the offense has to do is remain good and this team makes the playoffs and possibly more.

[@chrisfortin984]

Since Anderson? Ullmark is far better than Anderson. Anderson was really bad at the end in Colorado, which his value was near zero, which is how Ottawa got Anderson for an equally bad Brain Elliott, and inconsistent in Ottawa. A wall one year, and cant stop a beachball the next. Ullmark has been steadily good pretty much his entire career. He was good even on a bad Sabres team.

[@bernardsparr9501]

Come on, Wallmark is a top 5 goalie in the league!!!

[@matthewgregory8218]

If I wanted to be glass half empty, there is still a rough schedule. Good chance Ottawa does not win against Vancouver and Edmonton. Glass half full, still a full season to get as high as you can in the standings because of Unmark.

[@ponyboycurtis007]

Speaking of road trips.. the sens play 8 or the last 9 games of the season on the road. 4-1-4! that is quite unfortunate.

[@Spanishflea.]

We need defense. Badly. We don't have a shutdown line. If we're going to the playoffs we can't possibly run the 3rd pairing

[@chrisfortin984]

If Staios makes a move with the Rangers to get Braeden Schneider, then they can have a shutdown line, whether he plays with Sanderson or Kleven, Schneider will bring that.

[@tedlakomy950]

They need a top 6 F and a top 4 RD. Do not trade Kleven. Anybody considering trading Pinto or Norris is a moron. Longer term they need 2 or 3 forwards for under 4 million with size who can skate, maybe even get physical and hit the net with their shot. They might be able to find a couple at the deadline or in the summer. Jensen is 34 and Zub has concussion issues so they need 2 RD with size who can skate. Chabot doesn't need to pair with a superstar, just a guy like Jensen.

[@ClaudeLarose-g5g]

To negative shut it off at 12 minutes

[@matthewgregory8218]

Truth though. If we lose Ulmark at least 10 games or the season, playoff hops dashed. You need a good and bad cop in your life.

[@wayneblais8368]

Are you kidding? Pinto? Seriously?

[@mathewanctil9780]

He’s a jack of all trades plays D he’s a forward he can play Goal. You really insulting the bottom pairing of the kids no they don’t need “ help “ 😡🥅 🖤❤️💛🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
